Baratza Sette 270Wi
The Sette 270Wi retails all of the features of its younger sibling but also offers up the holy grail of espresso prep – grinding to weight, directly into the portafilter! The “i” stands for intelligence and with an upgraded and intelligent control board from it’s 270W predecessor, it’s the next generation from Baratza. The new intelligent control board has the ability to learn and adjust as you use it and can filter unpredicted vibrations that may affect dosing accuracy.
The second generation grind by weight model is a result of a great colab between Baratza and our good friends at Acaia. With the revolutionary ability to grind by weight directly into your portafilter (or grounds bin for you filter brewers out there). The big brother of the range, the 270Wi comes with Acaia designed Bluetooth technology to monitor, log and track grind sessions, weights and settings – as you can tell, this is a tool specifically made for home enthusiasts & baristas.
Designed and perfected in Liechtenstein over a period of 8 years, the Sette range boasts completely new grinder technology that sets a the standard for simplicity, efficiency, and durability. This new mechanism has the outer burr rotate and the inner burr is fixed, a truly revolutionary design. The design of this mechanism doubles the efficiency of similarly sized grinders. Coffee passes straight through the grinder, vertically, and drops directly into your portafilter or grounds bin.
The Sette range is also packed with grinder essentials; a macro/micro grind size adjustment, 3 programmable settings for dosing and a built-in convertible holder so you can grind hands-free.

270W -> 270Wi improvements
- The “i” in 270Wi stands for intelligence. Since the 270W model, the grinder now quickly calculates and predicts the stop point when you change your grind setting, beans, or dose weight. This eliminates the need to adjust the offset.
- The new 270Wi maximises its built-in Acaia high precision scale by filtering unpredicted vibrations that could affect dosing accuracy, such as door closures, footsteps, unsteady surfaces.
- A “quick burst” feature allows you to add small increments of coffee to your final dose after the grinder has stopped.
- In the event of a software update, it can be installed wirelessly via the integrated Bluetooth using Apple phone or tablet.
- Recent versions of the Sette 270W are upward compatible to the Sette 270Wi, by purchasing and installing the new 270Wi Display panel and then updating the software via an Acaia App.
